Syl's respect for Dalinar only grew after he discarded [[Oathbringer (Shardblade)|Oathbringer]] to free the companies of [[bridgemen]], and she continued to push Kaladin to trust him more.{{book ref|sa2|9}} She also told Kaladin about the possibility of other Surgebinders being out there and insisted that he become what Dalinar needed, as she began to notice [[stormspren]], Odium's servants, out and about.{{book ref|sa2|9}} When [[Amaram]] arrived, causing Kaladin's opinion of Dalinar to drop by his association, Syl insisted that he speak with Dalinar about his experience at Amaram;'s hands and be frank with him; he did so, though it was seemingly to no avail.{{book ref|sa2|16}}
 
It was around this time that Kaladin began backsliding on his oaths, causing Syl to worry about him.{{book ref|sa2|22}} Nonetheless, she stuck by him and gave him a warning when [[Szeth]] was coming to assassinate Dalinar. She also immediately recognized that Szeth was not a Surgebinder, despite his abilities.{{book ref|sa2|32}} Despite her increasing knowledge, though, she was still surprised at finding out that Kaladin could heal Shardblade wounds.{{book ref|sa2|33}}
 
Even as Kaladin's mental state continued to deteriorate, Syl still insisted that Dalinar could be trusted and that Kaladin should open up to him, especially after learning about [[Moash]]'s plot to kill [[Elhokar]].{{book ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa2|44}} Eventually, after a successful training in the chasms that saw Kaladin learn how to fly, and her sharing more information about Surgebinding, he was almost convinced, but his motivation evaporated when he saw that Dalinar made Amaram the head of the new Knights Radiant.{{book ref|sa2|52}}{{book ref|sa2|55}} Syl still managed to convince him that things would be different during [[Adolin]]'s four-on-one duel. Unfortunately, she was wrong, and when Kaladin asked to challenge Amaram as a [[King's Boon|boon]] he was arrested.{{book ref|sa2|57}}
 
==== Death and Rebirth ====

Immediately after the Battle of Narak, Syl explained to Kaladin that other [[Shardblade]]sShardblades were dead spren, and that [[Honorblade]]s were something different.{{book ref|sa2|87}} A few days later, the two left for [[Hearthstone]], Kaladin's hometown, to make sure that his family was safe.{{book ref|sa3|89}} After they confirmed that [[Lirin]] and [[Hesina]] -- along with the newest addition to the family, [[Oroden]] -- were fine, the journey turned into a hunt for the [[Parshmen]] who departed in the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|7}}{{book ref|sa3|10}}
 
During that time, Syl began to worry about Kaladin's happiness, eventually growing to believe that he needed to find himself a romantic partner. Though she lightly teased him about some girls and [[ardent]]s met on the way, and revealed that she had been spying on people in their intimate moments, her true goal was to get Kaladin together with [[Shallan]], as she believed that the [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]] was making him happy.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
 
This fun ended when Syl and Kaladin came across a group of former [[Parshmen]], and Kaladin willingly gave himself up to see where thisthe encounter would go.{{book ref|sa3|14}} Noticing that there was a [[voidspren]] accompanying the group, Syl began to act like a windspren again in order to fool her.{{book ref|sa3|17}} This being said, as [[Yixli]] wasn't always present with the newly-minted [[singer]]s, she did have the time to discuss matters with Kaladin. During one such conversation, she admitted that she didn't know why killing singers didn't feel wrong to her when killing humans did.{{book ref|sa3|20}}

The two eventually departed in a [[highstorm]] after seeing a [[Fused]] in [[Rathalas]].{{book ref|sa3|31}} Once back in [[Urithiru]], Kaladin focused on training his squires, with Syl accompanying him. At one point, she noticed some of her old [[honorspren]] acquaintances, and noted that they were not very fond of her, even though they had also begun searching for bondmates.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
 
After briefly going to [[Thaylen City]] to open its [[Oathgate]], she and Kaladin departed for the besieged [[Kholinar]], accompanying [[Elhokar]], [[Adolin]], [[Shallan]] and a few squires and guards.{{book ref|sa3|58}} Once in the city, Syl was the first to notice the [[Sja-Anatanat]]-corrupted spren.{{book ref|sa3|61}} While Kaladin was working with the [[Kholinar Wall Guard]], Syl assisted him in various minor ways.{{book ref|sa3|77}} During one battle in particular, she managed to point him towards destroying a Fused [[gemheart]], which was the quickest way to kill it.{{book ref|sa3|79}}
 
During the battle for [[Kholinar Palace]], Syl accompanied Kaladin as a weapon. There, he managed to kill the voidspren toying with [[Gavinor]], which left her shaken by the impossibility of the deed.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Still, she continued to fight, although despite everyone's best efforts, she, along with Adolin, Kaladin, Shallan, [[Pattern]], and the Wall Guard commander, [[Azure]], ended up dropped into [[Shadesmar]] after trying to unlock the [[Oathgate]].{{book ref|sa3|87}}
 
==== Journey Through Shadesmar ====
Nonetheless, the group was able to use this to their advantage. As they had to escape the Fused scouring the city, Syl noticed an honorspren ship called ''[[Honor's Path]]'' that was captained by her old minder, [[Notum]]. By calling the crew's attention to herself, she was able to convince them to take the group aboard and depart, although this also meant that she was taken prisoner.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
 
During the journey, Kaladin attempted to have Syl released; he was getting closer to the Fourth Ideal, which briefly allowed her to speak directly into his mind despite not being in [[Shardblade]] form. Seeing Kaladin's progress as a Radiant and hearing about a Stormfather Bondsmith, Notum agreed to let them go.{{book ref|sa3|108}} The entire group save for Azure departed at the shores of [[Longbrow's Straits]], a sliver of land in [[Shadesmar]], and Kaladin flew them to [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|110}}
 
Syl didn't participate directly in the fight for the [[Thaylenah]] Oathgate, although she did participate in Shallan's illusory distraction.{{book ref|sa3|116}} When things turned bad, she pulled Kaladin out of the sea of beads and encouraged him to say the [[Order of Windrunners#The Fourth Ideal|Fourth Ideal]].{{book ref|sa3|117}} When he couldn't, she embraced and comforted him--just in time to see [[Honor's Perpendicularity]] open.{{book ref|sa3|118}}{{book ref|sa3|119}}
 
Crossing the Perpendicularity, Syl returned to her semi-corporeal form and accompanied Kaladin as a weapon in the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} After the battle, the two discussed once more the righteousness of fighting [[singer]]s, who were only trying to regain their home; Kaladin decided that he would still fight for humanity's survival and reassured Syl that he would not kill her, or any other sapient spren, ever again.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Eventually, the two went to rescue [[Skar]] and [[Drehy]], two of Kaladin's squires who had managed to get Gavinor out of Kholinar.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
